The whole second set is off the friggin' chain, especially the jams out of Truckin' and the NFA>GDTRFB, but this China Cat gets my vote for best ever:

Tech note: have your son open the original mp3 in Quicktime Pro and trim it, rather than Final Cut. Much quicker, easier editing and exporting to different formats....

When the framework of the Wall of Sound was set in place at Maples Pavillion February 9th, 1973 due to Bears design there were limited channels and challenged stage monitor placement and location which became more complicated as the system evolved into and throughout 1974.
I believe at many shows Donna simply had a difficult time hearing herself above all the sonic energy on the stage. She cut her teeth at Muscle Shoals and worked with the likes of Elvis and was a professional vocalist.
Granted, these folks had a propensity to party a little and under the right circumstances she was indeed exuberant in her vocal delivery.
Things definitely smoothed out in June 1976 and through her tenure up to late 1978 and early 1979. Perhaps Bear was in many other peoples camps and sabotaged her on purpose, who's to say? Jerry and Bob were definitely sweet on her. Just have a listen to the many fine performances of Looks Like Rain 1976-1978.
Here's to the pioneering women of "Rock n Roll" who had the courage like Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald before them to get up on stage and perform.
If it wasn't for Grace and Jorma and that little ditty on the radio in 1967 "White Rabbit" do you think there ever would have been a "Spanish Jam" theme?

I turn to that Scarlet when i am feeling down. First off, I love the bouncy nature of those '74 Scarlets. Then there is Donna. Such an outrageous sonic display that I don't find it distracting, i actually find it really quite humorous and it always brings a smile to my face. That said, i am pretty sure that hearing what I envision Gaia must sound like during an earthquake over and over on a loop would not be something i would find as comical.

I used to have the opening minute or so of Zep's "Immigrant Song" in a loop as my ringtone - as you say, it used to stand out in a crowd as well as gaining a few weird looks !!!

i actually live in portland and usually attend a decent number of blazers games with my brother and a friend during the season. we often walk right past the memorial coliseum on the way in to the rose garden and my friends, knowing my love of the show that took place there, always have to give me a hard time. "okay everybody, moment of silence for portland '74" or "you sure you don't want to stay here for a little while and, you know, just soak in the vibes?" or "isn't there a plaque here that says: site of the greatest china>rider of all time. may, 19, 1974"... couple of jokers.

The gdtrfb is legendary in my book too. In the beginning if the song staccato stopping and starting, then phil drops that minor note.
...
I also really like 8-19-89 especially the rider
